Is there combat in this game?

TItle. I get bored pretty easy with most city builders that *only* feature city building, just curious what this is all about.

No. in the future they might have it. The game has a hundred different resources and a dozens of layers of manufacturing processes that definitely give more investment. It's ripe for diplomacy and military mechanics with a over world map and the survival industrial atmosphere.

I understand the boredom of city builders that remove a core part of human behavior, violent conflict, but I'd recommend using this city builder to layout a legitimate living city or town for say a DnD game experience. After you make your city functional, track it and you got a realistic simulated settlement with every bell and whistle of an immersive location. That's what I do with these city builders like this and Frostpunk

Thanks for the info man, very much so appreciate it.

As previously mentioned, presently no there is no combat, however, there are encounters and decisions you have to make during the games that can have permanent effects on your settlement. For example, giving people a regular day off (think weekend, but just one day) which makes people happier at the expense of a permanent reduction in the amount of work everyone does. This means that if you make different choices in a subsequent play through, your game may play out a bit differently.

All that said, I really like this game, and if had just been a straight up city builder with nothing else going on, I would probably not played it as much as I have. For city building alone there are other games like Cities: Skylines (the original, not the new one).
